YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

I know solo players are not the chattiest group of people, but for those that want to chat, here's the place to do it :)

Haha, okay thanks Tati. :)

Thanks, Tati! I haven't had much reading time lately, but I hope to fit in a few this month. :)

I've had a few letdowns playing in teams, so I decided to take a break from teams. I will have half the month off on vacation, so I'm expecting to read quite a bit

I haven't been reading enough to be on a team. Plus I like not stressing about it.

Yeah, same here. Besides, the last team I was in didn't have much readers so it was just me doing most of the work. :(

HI GURRLLSS!

So... Maybe a stupid question but we have to check in? I had never been solo always on a team but I'm pretty tired of team and in October I'll be so busy so I don't wanna let down anyone that's why I ask for solo this challenge.

Nice to meet you all of you <3! If anyone want to buddy read any of these book https://www.goodreads.com/review/list... let me know :D I think it fits some challenges, I'm doing this challenge to chill so I won't be competitive at all.

Honestly, I'm going to chill and have fun too Haha! I want to do Poison Study, too but I'm not sure when since I already have 4 books lined up so I can't make any promises. :(

Checking in...er...do we do that here? My first time doing solo :p

I had the same ques. And same here--I'll be busy during October because of college. Also doing all these team challenges have kind of put me into a slump :p I want to read slow and steady for this month

Not for solo, no :)

Oh lol. Well either way it's nice to meet you all! Here's to a very relaxing month of reading XD

Yes. Really relaxing. Haha. It will be good to be on my own pace for once. What books are you all planning to to read this coming month?

Hiya everyone!! I am new here and this is officially my first message here

I set up Poison Study in October 20th

Hahahaha welcome all the chill ones :D

This is the chattiest I’ve seen the solo group being. Sorry most of you have been having a rough times on teams. But I think most people who choose solo just want to do challenge without being stressed to read. Whatever your reason for joining solo, welcome.

@June To be honest, all these challenges are super competitive so... When you join a team you know you'll be stress

I'll be reading reading Edgedancer by Brandon Sanderson and The Whispering Room by Dean Koontz.

October has a loooooot of books coming out for me. Some are below



Not to mention what I already own

One of my friends keeps telling me I need to read the Magnus Chase books. I need to get there eventually.

Well I am a moody reader so I hardly ever end up sticking to my plans but I want to finish the first book of each of these series this month

It's like I was really happy with my teams from last month and this month--Vienetta and Liqourice--but team challenges are competitive. And I know I won't have time for being competitive this coming month or the next.

Besides, do you guys ever find yourselves falling into a slump after reading too many books?

Definitely, once I’ve read a lot of books in one month, I find it hard to push myself to remain consistent the next month. I admire those who can read over 200 books a year.

I choose solo to read at my pace and still enjoy the challenge.

Same here. Usually I read around 12-24 books a year. That's how slow I am ;'D This year though I am two books ahead of my 50 books challenge and I am pretty sure that only happened because of the team challenges I have been doing lol

What's on your TBR for October?

Let's agree to disagree :D

Same here, plus exams are coming up >.<

Edit-A have you/are you going to read Tower of Dawn? It's about your favorite person in the Throne of Glass series. :))))))

I usually read around 100 books a year. Sometimes more. But I read quite a few long books, so I don't set a high goal for numbers.

Not really sure, even tho I got it. Since I kind of gave up on the series, but because of my habit, I have to come back to it one day... but I am not ready yet :D

@ Tanaz, I’m a mood reader so things change quickly. The definite books I’m going to read are
- The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
-Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys
And maybe Gone with the Wind, but that’s a door stopper.

I have all of them on my TBR. Not sure when I am going to read them though. Too many books too little time

Aaaand October begins! What are you all reading for your first book?

Hey everyone!

@Tanaz: I read Remind Me How This Ends and I'm about to pick up Blue Tide.

I'm reading Under a Painted Sky by Stacey Lee. What about you?

I liked Lee's other book, The Secret of a Heart Note! I haven't read that one yet, though,

I haven't read any book by Lee as of yet. This is my first one, but people are saying that it's really good. Hehe!

She has a great writing style.

Yes, it does seem that way. What other books have you read? :)

Of Lee's? I've only read her latest.

I have a couple of roll over books from September I am finishing up. Hope you are all enjoying your books!

Yes, I finished Hounds of Baskerville earlier and now I'm working on a new one. Hehe!

I have never read them. How are you liking them?

I am reading . So far it's pretty good.

That's one that I've been thinking about reading for a long time, Tanaz. Maybe one day I will actually get to it.

And of course I decide to start the month with a massive book...

Wait, which one are you reading this month?

Me? I've started off the month with

Hm, I haven't read that one. How is it?

It's interesting so far!
